About Bill Dedman
Bill Dedman is an American investigative reporter and author. He is best known for The Color of Money, his 1988 investigation of redlining of middle-income black neighborhoods by banks and other mortgage lenders. Dedman received the 1989 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for his articles in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Dedman is the co-author of the biography of reclusive heiress Huguette Clark and her family, Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune, which was number one on The New York Times bestseller list and is being adapted into a television series for HBO.
Often relying on public records more than insider accounts, Dedman has reported and written influential investigative articles on racial profiling by police, illegal steering of customers to different neighborhoods by real estate agents based on the race of the customers, police officers who tried to stop abusive interrogations of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, and efforts to understand and prevent school shootings. His work includes one of the early examinations, in 1990, of the cover-up by the Roman Catholic Church of allegations of sexual abuse of minors by a priest.
